Baidu virtual numbers for SMS verification

Picking the right country for Baidu

A Baidu number is in stock in 141 countries right now, 63.8M lines in total, and the entry price is $0.15 in Hong Kong. The price gap between countries is not arbitrary: it follows what the local networks charge and how often they actually deliver, which is why the table above shows both next to each other.

If the first attempt fails, the repair is almost never another number in the same place — it is another country. A refusal at the country level does not change with the operator, and the hold on a silent number is released on its own, so working down the 141 countries in the table costs you time and nothing else.

Buy the number last. A Baidu expires its own code within a couple of minutes, and the line you take is held for twenty — a number bought before you are ready has already spent part of its window waiting for you. Have the Baidu sign-up open at the phone-number step first, then order.
